You can't spell procrastinate without INTP...

Here comes the good old question you are probably very familiar with... Wait for it...
Why do you "need" to do them? What makes these things you don't want to do so important that they "must" be done?

Revision for exams.
If I get good results then I can apply to a good college. Hopefully it will go uphill from there.

I don't want to do revision but I want to achieve my goal.

Achieving your goal, however, necessitates revision. Since any conclusions based upon an axiomatically true statement are likewise true, you therefore must like revisions, even if you don't. The key lies in focusing on the reward in the future rather than the effort in the present.

Patience is essential.
As one becomes older, one may sometimes view problems of the past with great puzzlement; values do appear to change if one is self-aware enough to re-assess values intermittently. The meaning of the past is viewed in a different light...perhaps what one may call more objective as one tends to be more removed from the emotional state at the time.
And goals change too sometimes as a result of re-evaluations.
During the journey towards the goal one may find many distractions, particularly if blessed with a large P'ness.
<--seems to sum up the INTP-state of mind...
And if the efforts in reaching the goals seem to be too great, it may be a good idea to reevaluate the methods...perhaps take some time out to meditate...?

Today I just sort of shut-off my anxieties and did what I had to do. Because I knew I could do it. I kind of felt like it was "getting it over with" (because of being "tired of it") and then continuing the "fun stuff".
I guess I think of it like "I'll have to do that anyway" .. so, any time is fine [also: "don't be guilty for putting it off"] and "there's no time like the present!"
I find that helps, actually. I've heard that tabbed browsing can make you read faster because you just switch the document.. helps if you get bored, if nothing else. And, I find I really need to stop hanging around on the same forum/site after a while, or I regress into a dependence of it like how a lot of people are addicted to facebook or email. Having 100 tabs keeps my neuroplasticity, as opposed to sticking to a few sites.. really important for me.

Gamers marvel at how you can usually just "sleep on it" and beat the boss after you tried so many times. I really find, with programming / systems design, even about 5 minutes of subconscious thinking can be amazingly helpful. Also.. I do this kind of ritual where I play guitar hero (Expert mode!) and think in the background and I come up with awesome ideas that I can struggle to remember after about 15 minutes.. I call it "genius time" haha. In Japan they let schoolchildren nap for 15 minutes as a class.. it's refreshing apparently
